After graduating from Plymouth High School in the class of 1976, Phillip dedicated over four decades of his life to precision and craftsmanship as a mold builder mainly working for Bremen Composites.
Phillip's loved his dogs, Lucy and Ziggy, who were often by his side as he worked in his well-tended yard, taking pride in the beauty he cultivated around his home.
Above all, Phillip's pride and joy were his grandchildren. Whether he was sharing stories, playing games, or just spending quiet time together, every moment with his grandkids was a treasure he held close to his heart. Their laughter was the sweetest music to his ears, and their milestones became his own cherished celebrations.
